  • the quantity of light of the illumination light can be varied when the quantity of light of the respective light sources is changed while maintaining the ratio of their quantity of light: Since the quantity of emitted light Y R , Y G and Y B of the respective light sources is determined by the type, configuration, supplied power and the like of the light source, the quantity of emitted light Y R , Y G and Y B are varied generally by changing the supplied power. That is, when the ratio of dimming which is the ratio of the quantity of emitted light is controlled by dimming the
  • the color temperature can be varied over a wide range from about 2500K to the infinity as shown in a chromaticity coordinates of FIG. 2A.
  • the dimming ratio of the respective light sources at optional color temperature will be as in a following TABLE I: TABLE I Emission Color Chromat. Cood. Col. Temp. (K) Dimming Ratio (%) x y R G B Daylight Color 0.314 0.345 6250 29 69 55 White Color 0.378 0.388 4200 48 70 27 Warm White Col. 0.409 0.394 3450 67 58 19 Bulb Color 0.440 0.403 2950 72 54 11
  • the data concerning to the dimming ratio are housed in the memory section at multiple stages so that intervals of the respective color temperatures will be equalized, the dimming ratio data of the color temperatures of respectively adjacent ones are sequentially read out, and the color temperature will be varied gradually over a wide range.
  • the minimum value of distinguishable difference in the color temperature is referred to as a discriminating threshold of the color temperature and, when this threshold is represented by a micro-reciprocal degree known as Mired (mrd) and obtainable by multiplying 106 times as large as the reciprocal of the color temperature, such discriminating threshold is known to be 5.5 mrd in the human visual system.
  • mrd micro-reciprocal degree
  • Such multiple stage recognition at regular intervals of the color temperatures as in the above should render the color temperature at every stage to be distinguishable on lower color temperature side but indistinguishable on higher color temperature side.
  • the color temperature discriminating threshold is larger than 200K at about 6,000K, and larger than 500K at about 10,000K.
  • the color temperature difference between the respective stages is so set, therefore, as to correspond to the color temperature discriminating threshold on the lower color temperature side but as to sequentially select at a constant speed the dimming ratio of the respective stages from the lower color temperature side toward the higher color temperature side, the number of the stages which are recognized to be of the same color temperature becomes larger as the color temperature increases to be higher, so that there will arise a problem that the varying speed of the color temperature will be slower as the color temperature becomes higher, causing an operator to feel unnatural.
  • the dimming ratio data are to be recognized with such finely small difference that substantially indistinguishable, so that there will arise a problem that the memory section has to house unnecessary data while rendering the data input operation to be complicated and the memory section itself to become expensive.
  • the difference (mrd) between adjacent two stages is close to the color temperature discriminating threshold at color temperatures close to 10,000K but is extraordinarily larger than the discriminating threshold at color temperatures closer to 2,500K, and there still remains a problem that the gradually smooth variation of the color temperature is hardly realizable.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a luminaire of variable color temperature which can vary the color temperature gradually enough for causing no unnatural feeling irrespective of the degree of the color temperature even when the variation is made over a considerably wide range.
  • this object can be accomplished by means of a luminaire of variable color temperature in which a plurality of light sources of different emission colors are provided for being lighted by a lighting means, the emission colors of the respective light sources are blended for emission of a blended color light from the luminaire, and a control means transmits to the lighting means a color temperature control signal for varying a state in which the emission colors are blended, wherein the signal transmission from the control means to the lighting means is so carried out that respective differences in the reciprocal color temperatures of respective two adjacent stages of the color temperature control signals are substantially equalized.
  • the luminaire of variable color temperature comprises a luminaire section 11 including a plurality of light sources 12R, 12G and 12B which are fluorescent lamps of three different emission colors such as red series R, green series G and blue series B.
  • light sources 12R, 12G and 12B it will be possible to effectively employ such other members as colored lamps, fluorescent or HID lamps combined with color filters, and so on, so long as they can provide mutually different emitted colors.
  • the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B in the luminaire section 11 are subjected to a dimming by means of a control device 13, which comprises light dimmers 14R, 14G and 14B respectively for dimming every emitted color by controlling supplied power to the respective light sources, and these dimmers 14R, 14G and 14B are so arranged as to control the dimming level of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B by means of dimming signals transmitted by a dimming signal generator 15 which generates the dimming signals on the basis of dimming data housed in a memory means 16 constituted by, for example, ROM.
  • a control device 13 which comprises light dimmers 14R, 14G and 14B respectively for dimming every emitted color by controlling supplied power to the respective light sources, and these dimmers 14R, 14G and 14B are so arranged as to control the dimming level of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B by means of dimming signals transmitted by a dimming signal generator 15 which generates
  • the dimming data are obtained from the color temperature of the illumination light of the luminaire in correspondence to the dimming ratio which is a ratio of the quantities of emitted light of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B, and the dimming ratios of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B are housed in three sets at every address (cell) of the memory means 16. That, the address is made to be in correspondence to the color temperature, and is so set that the dimming data corresponding to the desired color temperature will be provided as outputs by appointing the address corresponding to the desired color temperature.
  • the appointment of the address in the memory means 16 is obtained by converting an analog output of an operating means 18 comprising a fader into a digital signal at an A/D converter 17. For this address appointment at the memory means, an up-down output which can control the input pulse number by means of a switch operation may also be employed.
  • the dimming data housed in the memory means 16 are set in such manner as follows.
  • the difference in the color temperature according to the dimming data between the respective adjacent two of the addresses, that is, respective adjacent two stages of the color temperatures is so set as to be 50K in a lower range of 2,500-4,500K, to be 150K in an intermediate range of 4,500-7,500K, and to be 500K in a higher range of 7,500-10,000K.
  • the color temperature variation over such a wide range can be discriminated generally at three stages, and any remarkable variation within each stage can be restrained.
  • the number of stages involved here is made to be 66, and it is made possible to remarkably reduce the required number of the dimming data sets in contrast to the foregoing case where the color temperatures are set at regular intervals over the whole range in which the color temperature can be controlled, the intervals being set to be 50K for allowing the variation to be gradual. That is, it is enabled to reduce the memory capacity to realize cost reduction, and to render input work of the dimming data to be easier. While the intervals of the color temperatures at every adjacent two stages are set to be of two color temperatures at 4,500K and 7,500K, it is also possible to set the same at, for example, 4,000K, 6,000K, 8,000K and so on.
  • the color temperature differences between the respective stages are also not required to be limited to 50K, 150K and 500K.
  • the dimming data for the respective stages are so set that the color temperature difference presented in Mired will be 6mrd, as will be given in a following TABLE V. Since in this case the color temperature discrimating threshold of the human visual system is 5.5mrd, the dimming data are set at intervals close to the color temperature discriminating threshold. With respect to the color temperature controlling range of 2,500 to 10,000K, here, 51 stages of the dimming data may only be required to be set. That is, the number of stages can be more reduced than in the case of the foregoing TABLE IV, and the capacity of the memory means 16 can be also made smaller. Further, while the color temperature difference between the respective two adjacent stages is made 6mrd, it is not required to be limited to this value so long as the set value is effective enough for rendering the color temperature variation recognized to be gradual.
  • the color temperature difference between the respective two adjacent stages is set to be regular intervals of 40K for the color temperatures of 2,500-5,000K, and to be intervals of 6mrd for the range of 5,000-10,000K.
  • the setting of the regular intervals in the color temperature on the lower color temperature side causes no unnatural feeling
  • the setting is so made only on the higher color temperature side that the reciprocals of the color temperatures will be at regular intervals.
  • the variation in the color temperature for about four stages can be discriminated, so that there occurs substantially no unnatural feeling and the color temperature can be gradually varied.
  • variable range of the colar temperature is to be 2,520-5,615K, whereas the difference of 3.25mrd for 2,520K and 2,500K and 4.0mrd for 9,615K and 10,000K will render the result to be substantially equal to that in the case where the color temperature is varied from 2,500K to 10,000K.
  • dimming data are set in 79 stages.
  • the emission colors of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B are of such chromaticity coordinates as 12R(0.5537, 0.3300), 12G(0.2946, 0.5503) and 12B(0.1694, 0.1052), and of such color temperatures that variable in a range of 3,000K to 30,000K, and that a dimming illumination is carried out with the luminaire shown in FIG. 1.
  • a single light is employed for each of the light sources 12R, 12G and 12B, and a ratio of the maximum luminous flux of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B to the set luminous flux Y of the illumination light of a blended color is assumed to be 62:100:25:Y, then the dimming ratio of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B at some optional color temperatures will be as shown in a following TABLE VII: TABLE VII Set Col. Temp. (K) Chromat. Cood. Dim. Ratio of Lt. Src. Set Lum. Flx.
  • the dimming level of the light source 12B in the case of a high color temperature is higher than that of the light source 12R but the dimming level of the light source 12R in the case of a low color temperature is higher than that of the light source 12B.
  • the light source 12G is at the dimming level of more than 50%, and the dimming level 6.76% of the light source 12B at 3,000K is the lowest value.
  • the relationship between the dimming signals V sig provided to the dimmers 14R, 14G and 14B and their dimming ratio is made as shown in FIG. 2C, and the quantity of light data are so set that a 100 stage dimming (1, 2, 3 ... 98, 99 & 100%) will be carried out with the variation width of a 1% dimming ratio.
  • the relationship of such data to the dimming signals V sig is shown in FIG. 2D.
  • the dimming ratio of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B at the time of the set color temperatures as shown in the foregoing TABLE VII as well as the illumination light in the case when the emission colors are blended in practice will be as shown in a following TABLE VIII, from which it will be appreciated that the blended color of the illumination light is caused to involve a deviation from the set values, due to the setting to be 1% of the variation width of the dimming ratio of the quantity of light data.
  • the dimming is carried out at a constant color temperature set to be 3,000K and with a dimming ratio varied at every 1% step. Then, the variation width of the dimming ratio of the respective light sources 12R, 12G and 12B as calculated will be 0.98% for 12R, 0.68% for 12G and 0.07% for 12B. In respect of the light source 12B, here, the width is calculatively 0.07% but is required to be 1% because of the 1% step, and the dimming ratio setting has to become coarce. Further, when the dimming is made with the color temperature kept the same, a deviation in the emission color becomes remarkable as the luminous flux is made lower. This is caused by the dimming carried out at the 1% variation width in practice, notwithstanding the calculative 0.07% variation width for the dimming ratio of the light source 12B.
  • the emission color deviation may be made less than in the case of the 100 step dimming, whereas the quantity of light data to be stored in the memory section for the data will have to be made 8 bit data.
  • the foregoing 0.07% width as the minimum dimming width is made as a reference, it is then necessary to increase the varying step to be 1,429 steps, and the quantity of light data are required to be of 11 bit data.
  • the minimum variation width of the dimming ratio made smaller thus renders the data number to be increased, causing a problem to arise in necessitating a larger capacity memory means.
  • the varying width of the dimming ratio for the respective light sources itself is varied in accordance with the dimming level, whereby any deviation of the emission color temperature of the luminaire from the set value can be minimized without increasing required data number of the quantity of light to be preliminarily stored.
